Crossbow weighs about 8 lbs with scope, quiver, sling and 4 bolts attached. I typically take the quiver off while in the stand (less moving frontal area when Bambi shows up). I find the crossbow much more challenging to hold while up a tree....horizontal limbs and muzzle heavy balance are weird compared to regular bow or rifle/shotgun. There are trigger upgrades available but no double trigger...and no double crossbow....maybe someday an over and under will be available.
Did I mention the bolt will fall out from nominal vibration if you carry muzzle down. Luckily when you step on expanding broadheads nothing tragic occurs....;-)
